I would've thought you'd've realized that sooner. I noticed that like seven years ago.

However, I never noticed that MAREEP's name was an anagram, or that HITMONCHAN's Pokédex number matched up with Little Mac's weight, or Goldenrod Gym's design. Pretty neat stuff.

I was aware of the Bird Trio's names and Goldenrod gym, but I lost to nearly everything else, particularly to the Venonat/Butterfree connection.

Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres

I lost.

Same. By the way, we need a list of games whose geography mirrors Japan, because I could have sworn there's quite a few of those.

It's only a matter of time before there's fanart with Cubone and Kangaskhan. There probably already is.

...wait, Cubone is wearing the skull of his deceased mother? I lost again. I just thought the skull was a cute touch, I didn't think it was something morbid like that. ~~What happens if you breed two Cubones?~~ Nevermind, there's quite a few threads on that topic.

Yeah, I suppose I lost.

Chuck Norris could already do that simply by glaring at the television screen.

Chuck Norris jokes suck.

I'm amazed... that he thought anyone would laugh at that.

But by the way, they're Chuck Norris Facts.

Fight memes with memes, I guess.

Okay, that's not really a meme, but I am getting tired of that picture.

Weegee · « **Reply #190 on:** August 30, 2009, 03:06:18 PM »

It was intended to induce groans more than laughter, but whatever. You guys just don't appreciate true artistry. Anyways, I don't who know who made these, but it's good to know that he's making a useful, lasting contribution to society. Note that the following images can only be fully fathomed by a fellow Lego fan, but here goes. Click the images for more views of each creation:

So nowadays anything that appears more than once is a meme? That's amazing.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #192 on:** August 30, 2009, 05:14:14 PM »

I used it because images, at times, portray frustration more than words.

But really, Chuck Norris Facts? Does it really make a difference? They "both" suck.

That's the definition of a meme. The concepts of a meme (very vague and common in all aspects of life) and an internet meme/fad (much more specific kind of thing) are being blended together, which isn't exactly correct.

Also, Weegee, I've been uncontrollably getting Lego magazine since I was a little kid, went to Legoland, and have some official book on the subject, so although those pics are definitely amazing, I've seen far more incredible. But, oh who am I kidding... I guess I lost a little.
